7/2

Well placed to win 8 his 9 starts in 2021-22 and made successful reappearance at Perth (23.8f) in June 2022. Well held in a handful of starts since but mark continues to slide at least.

Form: 170-095

Floueur^t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Tabitha Worsley⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 135

8/1

Useful winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott but offered little in 2 starts at this course for Gary Hanmer early last year. Again let down by his jumping when down the field in handicap chase at Kelso on seasonal/stable debut.

Form: 0188P-5

Omar Maretti^p⁴⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryan Carver| T: A M Hales| OR: 129| CD

11/8

Dual point winner who bagged 4 of his first 5 starts under Rules. Lost his way subsequently, though hinted at a revival at Haydock latest and won this race 2 years ago off 3 lb higher.

Form: 3PF-664

Bushypark³²

Age: 10| Weight: 11-1| J: Joe Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 122| C

2/1

Inconsistent nowadays but back to form when taking advantage of lower hurdles mark at Haydock. Never really jumping/travelling when well held back over fences here since, a race he won last year. Type to bounce back.

Form: P3-0P15

Forecasts

Omar Maretti (11/8), Bushypark (2/1), Minella Trump (7/2), Floueur (8/1)

All 4 have something to prove but OMAR MARETTI hinted at a revival at Haydock last time so gets the vote having won this race 2 years ago. Bushypark is next best.
